So I am out of the industry now but I worked both in repair and on both the customer facing and manufacturer side of warranty shit.
If you bought it less than a year ago call whirlpool or the place you bought it and have them come out to repair it.
Even if you bought it like a year and a bit ago it's still a good idea to go this route as the limited warranty MAY cover some of the parts cost. Make sure you have the Model, serial, and purchase receipt if you have it. If you don't you can say you "forgot to register it" and say you bought it less than a year ago. Manufacturers literally do not care about this shit and go with what you say 90% of the time (little secret from behind the manufacturing curtain)
If you are set on repairing it yourself here is what I recommend.
1) Based on what you are saying this sounds like a lid lock gone bad or potentially the CPU. If it's the CPU board check the part number on Sears appliance direct by looking up your model number. (That site is not always accurate but it is accessible to end users) First order and replace the lid lock because that is probably under 100 bucks, then look at the cost of the board, weight the time it would take to disassemble the machine and everything with the cost of paying someone to do this for you.
If you got any other questions about shit like this lmk happy to try and help

You can get interest-free financing with Lowe's and Home Depot, and they often run sales on appliances.
